Arms control refers to the restrictions and regulations placed on the development, production, and deployment of weapons, particularly nuclear arms. The goal is to enhance global security and reduce the risk of armed conflict by limiting the number and types of weapons countries can possess. Key treaties, such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, play a crucial role in these efforts. Effective arms control can lead to greater trust among nations and promote peaceful resolutions to conflicts. By engaging in dialogue and negotiations, countries can work towards disarmament and prevent the spread of dangerous weapons, ultimately contributing to a safer world for all.
